In addition to the Rush evaluation, the IFC discussed the proposed Froshcomm, a charity drive, reinstituting a fraternity tutor system, and the progress of the Judiciary Committee in in- vestigating rush violations. Although it was below the original projections, the IFC was pleased with this year's pledge total. According to Ken Browning, Dean of Student Affairs, 383 freshmen decided to live in fraternities. The figure compared "favor- ably" with past years despite an entering class of less than 900. The IFC discovered through a preliminary study that there was a large amount of cross-rushing among the houses, and houses that employed a strong summer rush fared well. A '"trouble list reference" circulated among the fraternities, an innovation this year, proved helpful for houses that were in trouble in the early stages. Unlike recent years, this fall many freshmen pledged dur- ing the latter part of Rush- Week rather than immediately after receiving the bids. The IFC Froshcomrnm will serve as a "policy-generating rather than a policy-making" committee once it is organized. Each house will be required to send one representative, selected by its freshman class. The main purposes of the Froshcomnn will be to recruit people into the 1FC with no previous experience, establish an internal work force, and generate interest in the Council. There were several sugges- tions for a concerted effort on behalf of a specific charity- The membership has the option of approving a collective iFC funC- tion or operating through separ- ate and independent charity drives by the houses themselves. A "walkathon" for a national charity within the Greater Bos- ton area is being considered. Derek Vlad led a discussion on the viability of a tutor prog- ram similar to the dormitory tutor system. In addition to assisting students with scholastic problems, the tutor would serve in the capacity of a "big bro- ther," hopefully sensitive to per- sonal problems. Tutors were once a common feature of the fraternities but died over the past several years. The tutor was usually a graduate student and former brother, and received free room and board. The costs of the program were shared equally by MIT and the individ- ual fraternity. Dean Browning asserted that the school would be Interested in resuming the program "only after the frater- nities come up with a definition of the role of a tutor and his place in the house." The Council also listened to a laconic presentation, by Drew Jaglom on the status of rush violations. Jaglorn, heading up the Judcomm, would not dis- close any further developments in the investigation because "everything that 've been saying has somehow been finding its way into The Tech." (He appeared to be referring Lo a story based on unattributed sources in The Tech, 9/11/73.) He did mention that there were an unusually large number of complaints before the seven- member committee. Jaglorn expressed hope that the decision and hearing process would be completed by mid-October. To- wards the end of the meeting he requested rush sign-in books frorn LCA and Fiji for the com- mittee's use. The IFC has a fining capacity of $500 per vio- lation.

The other law which 1 would like to call to the attention of out-of-state students is Section 3 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws of the Common- wealth. In summary, this law pro- vides that every non-resident student enrolled as a student at a school or college in the Commonwealth, who operates a moto- vehicle registered in another state or country, must file in triplicate with the Police Department of the city or tow n in which such school or college is located, a Non- Resident Studen-it Vehicle Informs- NMn Form. The student is also obliga- ted to maintain in full force a policy of liability insurance. Failure to comnply with the provi. sions of this law may subject the non-resident to a fine up to S50.

I am well aware that the commencemnent of the school year brings with it the usual flurry of activity necessary to get oriented at school and establish a temporary residence. However, I feel it is appro- priate at this time to inform those students who operate motor vehicles registered out-of-state, of two perti- nent and important laws which niem- bers of the Brookline Police Depart- ment will be called upon to enforce. The first is Brookline's prohibition against all-night on-street parking. Ar- ticle I Section 11 of the Traffic Rules and Regulations provides as follows: "NO ALL NIGHT PARKING: It shall be unlawful for the driver of any vehicle, other than one acting in an emergency, to park said vehicle on any street for a period of time longer than one (1) hour between the hours of 2 am and 6 anm of any day." The penalty By Margaret Brandeau '"Although food prices have risen sharply over the past months, the commons price will hold throughout the year," says Eugene Brammer, Director of Housing and Food Services. The numniber of students now subscribing to commons is eight to ten percent over dining ser- vice projections at the end of tile regular four-week trial period. In Baker House 225 students are on commons; in Walker there are 2-5,; in MacGregor, '31; in Lobdel, 11 2. Each year the dining service loses money, but the Institute replaces the loss, according to Brainmer. Though a ia carte- prices wvere raised on August 13, Bramnmer stated that dining service will try to keep prices as low as possible. "A lot, of course, depends on what will happen with food prices," he added. Some students have com- plained that the dining halls are overcrowded during meals. How- ever, according to Salvatore Lauricella, Student Center Din- iIng Manager, the dining service is not feeding capacity at lunch. "In fact," he said, '-we could very easily feed another 150 to 200 people with no strain." Lauricella said that there are many times between 11 am and 2 pm when there are few people in the dinling halls. He attributed overcrowding to the fact that most people are in the habit of eating lunch at the same time every day.

Three faculty members wereappointed to the rank of Insti-tute Professor, the highest aca-demic honor at MIT, accordingto an announcement releasedMonday.
Professors Philip Morrison ofthe Physics Department, WalieJoH. Nauta of Psychology, andRobert Solow of Economicsjoined six other faculty membersin the post after the facultyvoted to bestow this honor. Be-sides the nine Institute Profes-sors, there are currently 15 In-stitute Professors Emeriti.
Institute Professor is a postbestowed by the faculty in rec-ognition of "greatness as partic-ipants in, and contributors to,the intellectual and educationallife of the Institute," accordingto a statement made by theCommittee on Educational Pol-icy last spring.
The three latest appointmentsbring the number of InstituteProfessors appointed this year-tofour. Gordon S. Brown, Profes-
sor of Electrical Engineering,was made an Institute Professoron February 9, and became anInstitute Professor Emerituswhen he retired on June 30.
According to the CEP state-ment, an Institute Professor isno longer directly responsible tohis department, but related di-rectly to the Provost. An Insti-tute Professor "does not havespecific departmental or schoolresponsibilities." The statementadded, "Appointment [as an In-stitute Professor] provides aspecial opportunity to work a-cross departmental boundaries."
Institute Professors are alsogranted the right to serve half-time for five years past thenormal retirement age of 65.
There are usually no morethan twelve Institute Professorsat any one time, and the CEPrecommends that this limit bemaintained under most circum-stances. Nominations for an In-stitute Professor are made byMIT faculty members, and areconsidered by the Academic

la carte prices.According to a recent survey,
34% of the people eating lunchin Walker are Institute employ-ees. Brammer noted that moreemployees seem to be "brown-bagging" this year.
Dining Service plans to try torun specials at various timesthrough the year, not to getmore service, according to Brain-
mer, but to relieve the monot-ony of eating.
"If there's a problem with thefood, we want to know aboutit," Bramnrmer stated. "Ourdining facilities are open forinspection by any of the com-munity at any time."
This year Dining Service hastwo new food production super-visors. They are Amy Fraade inWalker and Beth Robbins in theStudent Center.
Council and the Chairman of theFaculty.
The Chairman and the Pres-ident then appointed an ad hoccommittee to investigate the ap-pointment, which reports di-rectly to the President. The fac-ulty then considers the nom-ination.
A listing of the professorswho have met the standards inthe past may indicate what thestandards really mean.
- Victor Wiesskopf, ap-pointed in 1965, former head ofthe Physics Department, and arecent visitor to Mainland China.
- Chia-Chiao Lin, a professor-of applied mathematics was ap-pointed in 1966.
- Nobel Prize Laureate andprofessor of Economics PaulSamuelson was appointed in1966.
- Professor of MathematicsNorman Levinson was elevatedin 1971.
Former Institute Professorswhose status has recentlychanged include ProfessorManson Benedict of NuclearEngineering, and ProfessorArthur Ippen of Civil Engi-neering have both becomeemeritus Institute Professors,and Professor Edwin Gilliland,Warren K. Lewis Professor ofChemical Engineering has died.
